This Toilet Tuesday (11/19/19)
November is god damn stacked, and much of the best it has to offer is coming this week. You all already know about that though, so I’ve chosen to highlight a couple smaller bands this week that are extremely deserving of your attention. As always, let us know if we missed anything and share your own picks down below.
Illusion Force – Alive (Independent) [Power Metal]
Listen to “Acceleration”
HOT DAMN THAT’S MY JAM
In all seriousness, this is everything I love about J-power metal. Everything is cranked to 11; it’s super fast and surprisingly technical for power metal, the vocals are insane, the solos rip, it’s catchy as hell… everything about this bangs. This might actually convince me to pay ridiculous import prices for the full album. 11/22/19 (Spear)
Raptvre – Monuments of Bitterness (The Crawling Chaos Records) [Dissonant Black/Death]
Listen to “Throne Torcher”
I subsist on hideous guitar noises, and this is doing all the things I like my gross-ass music to do. Little bits of Gorguts and Ulcerate dribble into the sound and are promptly spattered against the walls with their violent delivery. Get on this if you like disso shit. 11/22/19 (Spear)
